Media and Overlay - different timeline / time settings
The case is - i have a 45 sec long 3D animation in the Overlay "tab" - and in the Media "tab" i would like to run through a sequense of background images (10 images - 5 sec duration each) while the animation in Overlay is running. Is this not possible ?? Well i think it should be :-)

That's a great question, and a very sensible way to use an overlay. In version 5 you could do that - if the overlay placed on a series of sequence items was exactly the same, then it would just keep showing the prior overlay rather than reloading it.
It looks like in version 6 that feature isn't working. I'll check with the software engineering folks and see if there's a way to make it work.
Another idea: if you are handy with your 3D animation software, then you could accomplish this by building your 10 image animation inside the 3D model:
The end result should be close to what you are looking for. The downside is that you have to build the 10 x 5 animation within your 3D software, rather than within iScreensaver.
Did you build the 45 second animation yourself? What 3D software are you using?
Hi,
Yes i made the animation in Modo (From Foundry).
And then i thought i could "cheat" with an animated gif .. with a an animated colour sequence - but it does not play animated GIS - does it ?
I would not be optimal to make a video squence .. cuz it will take up unneccesary space .. I hope your tch gouys can fix the feature to version 5 :-)

Animated GIF: not supported.
However, you can make a movie instead: M4V or MP4 / H2.64 format would be ideal.
Put your 50 second movie file (containing an animation of your 10 images) in the Media layer.
Put your 3D animation in the Overlay layer.
Ok i can try that !
Thanks !
